Movie trivia: "Did you know?"

[jamescavinss]

I thought this would be a fun idea for some movie facts/trivia. I like to call it "did you know" as the whole point is to put a piece of info for a film that not everybody may know but might intrigue them. I'm gonna put this as a sticky to see if it gets any interest, and if not I will unstick it and let it fade away among new topics.

Let me start:

Did you know that Robert DeNiro was originally supposed to play Tom Hank's role as adult Josh in the film Big?

Al Pacino Trivia

Al was so much into character (playing a plain-clothes NYC cop) while filming Serpico (1973) he actually pulled over and threatened to arrest a truck driver for exhaust pollution.

He was rejected repeatedly by studio heads while auditioning for the role of Michael in The Godfather (1972) but Francis Ford Coppola fought for him. This film was shot briskly because both the director and the leading actor were in constant fear of being fired. Ironically, it turned out to be a breakthrough for both.

He is one of only five actors to be nominated for an Oscar twice for playing the same role in two separate films. He was nominated as for The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather: Part II (1974).

Turned down Born on the Fourth of July (1989).

Dropped out of school at the age of 17.

Turned down the role of Ted Kramer in Kramer vs. Kramer

Turned down Apocalypse Now (1979).

Turned down the role of Han Solo in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977).

Turned down Pretty Woman (1990).
